Today I ran the 25km distance at the and was quite satisfied overall. Last yr I found it very challenging due to the heat at the time, but today it was great with 1300 runners of the same distance.

The 800m of elev gain were manageable, and at the next event in August I will try to break the 1800m

And I noticed that as a 52yo runner, I've already been classified as a senior ... that escalated quickly ...

Recovery day, no today!

All because I'll be running a 25km/800m elev. gain HM at the Alpine Festival on Sat. Last year I ran the same event and that wasn't so good because the weather was very hot and I started off too fast, and by the end the hammer was about to knock me down.

But this year it should be better, or quite the opposite, as snow is expected to get close to the max elev of the course.

April is ... April.

My 16km today was a little bit special. It was cold, about 4°C and the weather gods were undecided what to do with the day. After I had been running for about half an hour, it started to snow lightly. But the weather gods apparently weren't having enough fun with it and soon it started to snow really heavily.

By now there must already be 20cm of snow ...

A short 15km run in the forest with about 600m elevation gain and really beautiful spring weather.

I wasn't quite as fast today because I wanted to try out a new toy: a Hover X1 drone with absolutely foolproof flight modes, such as FollowMe and DollyTrack. A nice little thing that's so light and small that it fits in a trouser pocket and, of course, in my running vest. Setup done in less than a minute, love it!

@running

a short video showing myself running on a trail in the woods, recorded by a drone that followed me automatically. I run on an uphill path that is surrounded by huge trees and partially enclosed by a fence.

riaschissl,
@riaschissl@noc.social avatar

@rmoff @running yes and no 😎

It can follow you from behind (FollowMe) or fly in front of you (DollyTrack), but it has no collision sensors. So if you're on a really narrow path, it might collide with an obstacle like a tree. But I've tried it a few times and it works amazingly well, like in the (scaled down) video I posted. The drone itself is well protected, i.e. it has already survived a few such collisions.

Loved watching Christiane Amanpour growing up. But she got this all wrong. Brutal erasure to say that there are no independent journos in Gaza (because 🇵🇸 journalists apparently can't be independent).

The Middle East Eye (this clip is their's btw) & Al Jazeera have award winning teams in Gaza composed of locals closer to the story than any westerner could be. But go ahead & waltz into Gaza, claim to be the eyes/ears of the world while totally lost without the Palestinian fixers flanking you.

@ZekuZelalem Gaza is a war zone and I doubt that we will get anything close to the truth out of it by any journalist, local, African, European, Asian or whatever.

The undeniable facts are that lots and lots of innocent people have been and are being killed as a direct result of what has happened on Oct, 7th.

Apart from that, I agree that Christiane Amanpour
lamenting about "western journalists" not being able to go to Gaza is just plain weird.

@riaschissl@noc.social avatar

I'm really fed up with MS Teams.

In the past, I've used Matrix/element, and I can't say how many times better it worked. About 1.5 years ago, we decided migrate to MS 365 and I find it a pita.

Does anybody have a clue about the status of Teams<->Matrix integration? I remember, there were numerous attempts to do this using a bridge/puppet, but at least AFAIK that didn't work too well.

What is the status of this? Any insights appreciated 😎

An early morning run before the predicted storm breaks out with speeds of more than 100 km/h.

And just in time for the holidays, a bit of a headache and a slight sore throat did not exactly contribute to my enjoyment.

But apart from that, it was a really nice 15 km run in beautiful spring weather. My keeps telling me that my hill endurance keeps improving, so the regular almost 600m elevation gain seem to be paying off

Hitting the streets in #London for blood cancer research!

I'll be #running the London Landmarks Half Marathon #LLHM on the 7th of April. It's a charity run, which in my case means I'm raising money for #BloodCancerUK.

So if you have a dime, a penny or a cent to spare, please support this cause. Your donation runs with me!

Hello trailrunners!
Is there a rule of tumb how much vertical meters one should train for a specific event?
I am looking for a way to make it measurable in my training metrics.
Thanks!

#trailrunning

riaschissl,
@riaschissl@noc.social avatar

@Johan_Barelds I only know the other way round: 100m in the vertical are about 1km in the flat. But this is really very much a rule of thumb, because uphill is not only about the total ascent but also how steep it is, and of course where you run. Running uphill a paved road is very different from running up a mountain trail.

Maybe someone from @running has a better idea, so I'm adding them to this thread.

A 13km late Sunday afternoon in almost spring-like conditions at around 10°C.

My plan is to increase my regular distance from 10km/300m elevation gain to around 15km/500m elevation gain and run a pure fun HM at least once a month. This should help me prepare for the 35km/1800m event I intend to participate in May.

It's hard to describe how much I love in winter!

Today is a particularly beautiful day and there's simply no better place to be than outside, like on my morning 12km run at about -10°C. Winter magic doing its wonders ❄️

in the forest is now a little adventure, because it's inevitable to turn into a snowman sooner or later⛄ And no chance of running fast, because sooner or later you get stuck in deep snow.

My fellow partners in crime aka esteemed colleagues probably already know about this event, but I've just read about it for the first time.

A marathon in (or the ) would be a tempting place ... if it weren't for the hefty price tag, which ranges from USD 21,000 to EUR 55,000 depending on the location and date 😱

@WTL @rotnroll666 @running @moelholm yes, of course, when you consider what it takes to get there, survive there, run there and finally return to civilization, the environmental impact is hard to justify.

But just for the sake of dreaming: I would still love to run there.

After being grounded for almost a week due to a simple cold - headache, bad sore throat and cough, the time has come: my Garmin has downgraded me from "Optimal" to "Recovery" and now to "Detraining" ... I know there are of course much worse things, but ....

It's amazing how much body and soul almost suffer when the sport you're used to and love falls by the wayside ...

As much as I don't like Twitter, I do miss all the calendar sales that it used to drive. I'm down over a $1,000 of income that would have come from Twitter calendar sales. That sucks.

If you want a calendar, you can get it here: https://www.lulu.com/shop/bryan-hansel/northern-landscapes-calendar-2024/paperback/product-2m29j64.html?page=1&pageSize=4

@riaschissl@noc.social avatar

@bryanhansel I'd have bought one of your great calendars, but unfortunately shipping to Europe takes ages and also comes with a hefty price tag 🤪

But apart from that, I think hashtags are the primary way to get attention for your posts here on Mastodon. And don't forget timezones: there is no algorithm so it may be a good idea to retoot your posts after some hours in order to reach a broader audience.

Good luck!

"Zionists are just evil"

My Zionist Dad after gently moving away a beetle from the car so he doesn't have a chance to accidentally drive over it after fueling the car where Hamas terrorists tried to slaughter 14 Israeli civilians on the 7th of October in a gas station shop:

@riaschissl@noc.social avatar

@skaly Don't fall into that trap, Skaly. All this gaslighting is part of Hamas' evil plot and no sane soul on this planet seriously denies what happened on October 7th: an absolutely despicable attack by a terror gang that now hides behind civilians like cowards.

You are not alone.

Thursday: 123 seconds of plank, 100 pushups, followed by 10.3 km of running (-12°C with a windchill of -18°C), followed by six minutes of kettle bells (maybe getting easier? Maybe?). Now to rush around and get all the camera gear collected before my shoot later this morning.

Collage of five images: 1) Looking up at a huge tree with snow covering the branches. 2) Snow-covered recreational path lined by snow-covered trees. 3) Rideau River curving off to the right with the eastern shore and it’s snow-covered trees in view. 4) Snow-covered recreational path with pine trees. 5) Selfie of white guy with glasses, a toque, and red coat, with a beard partially iced over.

@WTL I have to admit that the photos of your frozen beard are still hard to beat 😁

And -18°C is also very spectacular. Are you actually doing this as a member of this winter again?

A short at lunchtime in the snowy landscape around my home.

Most of my usual 10km trail is still covered in deep and was really exhausting in parts because sometimes I was up to my knees in snow.

And so this wasn't 100% running and I ended up quite slow, but it doesn't matter because of the really wonderful snowy landscape at around -7°C

@running

No today 🌨️

We got heaps of snow during the night and it's still coming down in large quantities. Not even the roads are passable at the moment, let alone any trails.

So it's down to shoveling snow today, which is also some form of sport 🏋️‍♂️

@running

A hill full of snow-covered trees.

@riaschissl@noc.social avatar

and now: Snow!

The temperatures have dropped significantly in the last few days and winter is clearly just around the corner! Higher up in the mountains there's already a lot of snow in some parts, but at my alt of around 1000m it's only a few centimeters for the time being.

I've learned to love in these conditions, I find the cold much more pleasant than the heat!

My usual 10km route just below freezing at around -2°C.
